Muscle stimulator after ACL reconstruction
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special muscle-stimulating device worn after ACL reconstruction surgery can help your knee recover strength faster. If you qualify, you will use the device at home for a few weeks and your recovery will be checked regularly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having ACL reconstruction at the University of Kansas Medical Center sports medicine clinic.
- You are between 15 and 50 years old.
- Your BMI (body mass index) is between 18 and 30.
- You have not had any surgery on your legs or spine before this ACL injury.
- In the past 6 months, you haven't had another leg injury (other than the ACL tear) that stopped physical activity for more than 2 weeks.

This study tests whether gently stimulating the muscle on your healthy leg can help your thigh muscle 'wake up' and work better after ACL surgery. The therapy uses small electrical pulses to retrain the muscles.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help your thigh muscle work better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It may improve muscle control and speed up your recovery.
This study looks at how well your thigh muscles work after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand muscle power recovery in active people, which could help improve rehabilitation programs.
This study compares two simple exercises (KEA and towel-based) to help your thigh muscle wake up early after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to find which method gets your muscle working again sooner, which may improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether a special electrical stimulation device (KneeStim) can help military academy cadets recover faster after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to improve muscle strength and knee function using gentle electrical pulses during rehabilitation.
This trial tests if adding electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength and movement after ACL reconstruction surgery. It compares two rehab programs starting within days after surgery.
